Okay, last time I go down this road, I promise.

Week one was great. Lost six pounds.

Week two has been awful. No carb creep. About the same amount of exercise (possibly a touch more, but nothing that would make an impact), which is 150 mins. Have gained a pound back. I'm not really noticing much in waistline measure, either, although that's harder to measure consistently. I know that weight loss manifests itself in different ways, and many have requested the measuring tape. Clothes fit about the same. Tucking away the scale, but really discouraged after a week of eating only fats and protein. Even ate fish, which I really don't like.

Have other people had the same experiences in the first few weeks? Will weight loss kind of restart on its own? Etc.

There are some good signs. The cravings and hunger levels have definitely gone down. So that's good. I do miss ice cream, though, but the hardest part is just walking past the ice cream store. Once I'm past it, the cravings die.

Anyway, I have no plans to fall off the wagon, but I'd love to hear that I'm not doing this all only to get discouraged a month from now. Total weight loss to get to a healthy weight was 60 lbs, so I have plenty of room to go.
